Mike

I was born in Moncton, New Brunswick on May 28th 1968 and from that day on I did pretty much what everyone else did you know. I went to school, I hated school, I played hockey, I loved hockey. I thought I'd play professional hockey ..etc etc blah blah blah shave and a hair cut. two bits.

But then in March of 1985 I bought my first guitar.

Then, I moved to Bonnyville, Alberta, in August of 1985. Where I played football, more hockey and more importantly, more and more guitar.

From 1987 thru 1993, I toured all over western Canada in various rock and roll bands.
But for the most part, I just roamed around with my guitar and learned a truck load of songs..and I was slowly becoming confident as a songwriter.

I put out my first album in 1993, and from then til now it's been at least 20 guitars, a ton of miles, a boat load of shows, a handful of records and more fun, laughs and friends than anyone should be allowed...so there.

I now live outside of Toronto, Ontario, with my wife Jenny and our Dalmation, Lucy.
